FOOD COMMITTEE

To the Podolsk Food Committee

Copy to the Podolsk District Executive Committee

A petition has been delivered to me directly as follows 315.

I can attest to the grave food supply situation in the village of Bogdanovo (Bogdaniha in common parlance). I therefore request that you immediately examine their petition and, to the extent possible, alleviate their situation, that is to say, reduce the requisition quota imposed upon them as far as possible.

I request that you inform me of your decision both in writing and by telephone message.

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
